Interview with Jace on this morning's EW radio...interesting note:

 

1.)  In hindsight, he is kicking himself for not picking up on the twin twist:  Apparently he noticed several discrepancies in the way they would work out that he said should have been a huge red flag for him, along with the varied facial features...but his description of their different workout 'styles', for lack of a better word, should have told him right off they were different.  It was interesting how he described the way they lift weights, breathe, etc. 

2.)  Apparently, before broadcasts started, he and Clay made an alliance pact that Clay threw by the wayside.  Jace said if they had showed that, his anger at being targeted would have made more sense.  Felt like he and Clay bonded very early, and Clay's switch completely baffled him.

So will they get married at Christmas in Memphis?

The house just tested positive for COVID and is in quarantine. They will have to choose an alternate house.

I think its one thing to maturely say "Ian's rocking stresses me out, but I understand why he needs to do it" and another to mock him, laugh at him, and imitate him behind his back for something he ha

Jeff is going to be one of those idiots who come out of the house and say, "Nobody told me that when they said the cameras were on 24/7 they really were going to be on 24/7!"

I had managed to forgot about the way Caleb felt entitled to Amber and then retaliated when she still wasn't interested, but it all came back to me.

Beats me. When even Evil Dick is tweeting about how vile a player is, someone in production should be paying attention. But in the BB universe sexism and acts that could be classified as some degree of sexual assault make it just another day in the house. I would love to sit in on a production meeting about Jeff and his creepy behavior. As far as I know, CBS/BB hasn't addressed it. However, they were slow in addressing Aaryn's ugliness, so perhaps there's hope. Or they have their fingers crossed that Jeff will be evicted before they are forced to act.

Maybe we need Amy Schumer in for a takeover week.

So was that "Be Right Back" thing because of Jeff's actions?  Yet they came right back to it?

 

As a Survivor watcher, why am I totally not surprised that a Hantz relative got evicted for fighting.  And CBS shouldn't have been surprised either.

Brendan and Rachel were on Rob Has A Podcast last night. Brendan was very funny imitating Clay's shout outs while voting.

Rob, Rachel and Brendan said that TMZ retracted the Jeff story. Apparently when they saw another camera angle they realized that they had it wrong.

From the TMZ article:

Update 9:45 AM PT -- A new camera angle's surfaced ... and this one appears to clear Jeff's name. Looks like there really was a stain on Julia's shoulder prior to him touching her. Also, you can't see that jerking action, but that could be because the camera's further away.

he could have been doing anything. When I scratch my leg on bed my husband looks at me funny and ask what I'm doing. I'm giving Jeff the benefit of the doubt

Agreed. For all we know, his crabs were kicking up and he was scratching.

 

That's better than the alternative - isn't it?

 

Just a little?

From that Jeff interview:

 

 

I think I was playing one of the best games in the house. Not to sound too cocky about it, but I really do.

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.

Yep, that quote makes no sense until the tense is changed: "That caught me off guard, I thought I was playing one of the best games in the house. Not to sound too cocky about it, but I really did."

I'm sure that's what he meant to say.

On his exit interview on "Rob Has A Podcast," Jeff stated that he was voted out because he was so smart, was playing the best game, and was a threat to the other side of the house.  Rob then paused, and said "Yeah..............that's completely what I was getting, too!" in a tone that was sarcastic but not quite enough for Jeff to pick up on it.  I laughed out loud.

Austin ex-gf really trashing him on twitter.  Pictures of his stuff thrown out on the driveway.  Very pissed off.  ouch.

If you read the responding tweets, people have proven it is an old photo from 2014.

My suspicion was maybe she was setting me up and she offered me pizza and maybe that was her strategy and it worked.

 

That's not blame. That's recognition of strategy.

 

If Becky did that so Audrey would get a penalty vote, then props to Becky.

I think CBS needs to jump in on this one. It's not fair for her to accuse Becky of that stuff and Becky to not even KNOW about it and be unable to defend herself. Because there are multiple instances of people saying the DR told them Audrey could eat for a 36-hour period. My guess is the penalty vote is from eating AFTER that time, since it was on Mon-Tues that Becky brought her food, and Audrey was still eating on Weds/Thurs.

 

It also shows what a shit person Audrey is to try and turn someone doing something undeservedly nice for her into an attack.

Yes, how dare anyone try to treat her like a human and with compassion. Nobody should have bothered and just left her in there to starve. 

 

Nobody force fed and held her down to make her eat the pizza. Also nobody forced her to eat everything else she ate or take the warm showers or sleep with the lights off during the day or steal Jason's pillow and sleep on the floor. 

 

Becky's also the one that cleaned up after all the mess Audrey made in that room after all that, a thank you for thinking of me or giving me some food when I was at a low point would be too much obviously to expect from Audrey. Instead it's attack and blame Becky and call Jason's cooking bad.

I thought it was interesting Audrey said she'd stay friends with everyone in the house (except maybe Jase) and kinda gushed over how much she loved them. So I don't know what that's about.

Another thing that I said before the show started and is still striking is she looks much older than 25. One thing that I never pondered until yesterday is she has a very slight passing resemblance to the Middleton sisters and obviously the same last name. Would be funny if they were distantly related.

To me, Audrey's responsibility for eating forbidden foods can exist at the same time as the possibility that Becky (or even James) was being tactical to get her a penalty vote. It doesn't make Becky a bad person if she did that, and Audrey isn't even saying that Becky's a bad person if she did that. She said that if that was a strategic move by Becky, then it worked. That's a compliment in the context of the game. And Audrey said she still owns her decision to eat, anyway, which is the opposite of blaming others.

 

In real life, sure, if someone brings you food when you're down then that absolutely is a kind act that deserves gratitude. In Big Brother, it's likely that everyone has ulterior motives for everything they do. It's not an insult to recognize that people might be acting tactically in a game.

 

All in all, Audrey has given props for every time someone else outplayed her. She's not blaming them or attacking their character, at all. Audrey isn't the one confusing the game with real life.

Listened to Audrey's interview on RHAP, she basically conceded she played a terrible game, that she should have sat back and kept quiet but that's not her personality type. She also mentioned that she pulled James aside five minutes before the eviction and tried to clue him in yet again that Shelli/Clay/Vanessa are aligned. 

 

"I ate the pizza and I own it" seems pretty cut and dry to me. I don't think it was strategy on Becky's part but part of me thinks the DR was giving out conflicting information to the HGs. It does seem kind of strange that the DR would tell another HG that she was on medication. That seems like something they shouldn't be doing.

I've been loving Audrey's exit interviews. It's so rare to see an evicted HG own up to how badly they played. I really appreciate it.

 

She also mentioned that she pulled James aside five minutes before the eviction and tried to clue him in yet again that Shelli/Clay/Vanessa are aligned. 

 

It was probably a mistake to keep telling James and only James. I mean I think he believes it tbh, but he's the type of player to tell everyone everything so he runs to Clay/Shelli every time. Plus, he alone can do nothing about it and he has little power over any other players. Unfortunately the 'other side' can't seem to come together and would rather just be strung along by Shelli/Clay than actually make any moves for themselves. The same thing happened last season.

That makes sense, at least. The house guests were providing plenty of interest on their own, and they certainly didn't need a twist that fizzled to spark things up. When the best they could come up with was Gronk for Week 3, where else could they go but down?

It does seem a natural for cross promotion with other CBS shows, though.
